Interplanetary Journey: Exploring High School with Virtual Reality in the Study of the Solar System in the state of Amazonas

Abstract

This pioneering project to develop educational content in virtual reality, using the "Solar Space Exploration VR" application, was designed to transform the learning experience in the 2nd year of high school. The introduction of virtual reality glasses allowed students to not only explore, but immerse themselves in complete immersion in the solar planets. By wearing these glasses, students not only viewed but also interacted with virtual planetary scenes, providing a unique and in-depth understanding of the solar system. This innovative approach not only made classes more engaging and stimulating, but also sparked a spark of interest in astronomy and science. The project doesn't just offer a stunning visual experience; it mainly highlights the revolutionary potential of immersive technologies in the educational field. By preparing students for a more advanced, technology-driven learning environment, this project aims to inspire a new generation of knowledge explorers, encouraging the quest to understand the cosmos in an innovative and thought-provoking way.
